The summary describes a laser device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.
Yes
The device is described as being used for the "removal of tattoos and benign pigment lesion" which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for cutting, vaporization, ablation of soft tissue, and removal of tattoos and benign pigment lesions. These are treatment actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a q-switched solid state laser with a laser enclosure and optic delivery system (articulated mirror arm), which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the TattooStar R is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for cutting, vaporization, and ablation of soft tissue, and the removal of tattoos and benign pigment lesions. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is described as a laser system with an optical delivery system. This is a therapeutic device used for physical intervention.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description does not mention any such use or the processing of biological samples.
Therefore, the TattooStar R is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TattooStar R is indicated of cutting, vaporization or ablation of soft tissue. This includes tattoo removal and treatment of benign pigmented lesions.
The TattooStar R is intended for use for cutting, vaporization and ablation of soft tissue and the removal of tattoos and benign pigment lesion.
Some examples of pigment lesions are:
Lentigines, Café-au-lait-blotches, Ephalides, BenignNaevi such as Naevus of Ota, Naevus of Ito, Epidermal Naevi, Congenital Naevi, Beckers Naevi, Blue Nevus, Naevus Spillus and Mongolian Spot.

(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

| Equivalent Device: | RubyStar |
| Device Description: | The TattooStar R is a q-switched solid state lasers emitting
wavelengths of 694 nm (Rubylaser). It consists a laser
enclosure and optic delivery system (articulated mirror arm). |
| Intended Use: | The TattooStar R is indicated of cutting, vaporization or
ablation of soft tissue. This includes tattoo removal and
treatment of benign pigmented lesions. |
| Comparison to: | The TattooStar R is substantially equivalent to the RubyStar,
with the same principles of operation, and the same
indication for use ,the same wavelength but without a long
pulsed mode which is used for hair removal. |

Dear Reinhard Thieme:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976. the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
